Ch.3 Friday

I left my third block class and walked down the hallway to my locker. I walked to the end of the hallway and then sighed and turned around. I always missed my locker the first time.

I turned the lock. 15-48-15. I pulled the lock.Damn. It didn't open. Again, I sighed and redid my locker com. It still didn't work. I breathed in sharply. My leg inched out to kick the locker if it didn't work again. I tried it the third time. I pulled the lock. Merciful heaven, it opened. I shrugged off my backpack onto the floor and began pulling out the books for the morning classes and slamming them into the bottom of the locker.

I grabbed the binder for my fourth block class and shoved it into my back pack. I slammed the locker shut and bent over to pick up my bag.

"GOOD GAME!" Chaz yelled.

I almost fell forward as Chaz's hand struck myass with the force of a semi-truck. I breathed deeply, picked up my bag, and turned to give him the look.

"What?" he asked me, feigning innocence.

I glared at him. "I'm not in a good mood Chaz; Don't push me. I have my limits."

"Sure, sure," he said nonchalantly. "I heard you had a good game last night; I came to congratulate you."

"Game?" I replied, confused, as we began walking towards the cafeteria.

"With Ben."

"Oh." I flushed. "Do you all just like TALK about that in second block?" I mimicked Chaz's voice. "So what all did you do last night?" Then I responded in Ben's voice. "Oh…I went over to Allyson's house and i…"

"made out with her totally sexy body," Chaz finished for me.

I looked at him. "Is that Ben or Chaz speaking?"

Chaz grinned. "Hey, I quote verbatim." He held up two fingers. "Scout's honor."

I smiled reluctantly.

"See, you're not in a bad mood," Chaz said all too cheerfully.

We walked into the cafeteria and found the rest of the band in the far right corner.

I set my stuff down by Ben and then sat down next to him.

He turned and looked at me. Then he tilted his head sideways. "Did you do something to yourself? You look different than you did this morning…like a glow or something"

"Chaz just totally scared the hell out of me, if that's what you mean. Maybe adrenaline causes a glow."

He shrugged and smiled. "Well, whatever it is, it's sexy."

"Yea." (A/N: pronounced Ye-ay)

"You okay?"

"Yeah. I'm just not in the best of moods….the stupid locker ticked me off." (A/N: pronounced Ye-a-uh.)

"Well, I can fix that." Ben lightly kissed me on the lips. "Better?"

I smiled. "A bit. I need another dose." He kissed me again, but more strongly.

When he pulled again, I sighed with contentment. "All better?" he asked me.

I made a thinking face. "I don't know…."

He pulled me into him and this time he practically snogged me silly.

We broke apart suddenly and we felt something splash on us. We turned across the table to find Brittany staring at us. "Do you know how unappetizing it is to watch you two? Honestly. You two are like animals."

I stared at her and then I cracked up. Ben chuckled. "I guess," I said. "But you know…"I looked at Ben, "It's not like we haven't had lots of practice."

Brittany threw me an exasperated look. "Too much info." Then she looked at me. "For now," she added with a sly grin.

I arrived in my English class a few minutes before the bell rang for the start of 4th block. Ms. Karleson, my teacher, was pulling out the overhead as I arrived.

Inwardly, I groaned. A long day of note taking. How exciting.

When the bell rang for the end of school, I jubilantly left the classroom. I walked, still jubilant, down to my car and jubilantly turned on my car. Still jubilant, I hopped out of the car and threw my stuff in the back. Ben came up and threw his stuff in the back and I jubilantly gave him a hug.

He looked at me. "Jubilation?"

"Yep. Cause it's…FRIDAY!" I screeched.

He looked up. "I think I pterodactyl just flew overhead."

I hit him lightly. "Don't make fun of the person giving you a ride home."

Ben nodded. "Good point. Maybe it was just a screech owl."

"That's it. You're out of the car," I said jokingly. "You can ride shotgun today; Erika caught the early bus home."

"Awesome," Ben replied and he swung up to the passenger seat. "So are we still on for tomorrow?"

"Indeed."

Ben groaned. "Don't start that again."

"Start what?"

"Indeed."

"Start indeed? Okay," I replied. "Indeed, I need…"

"Stop."

"Do I need, indeed?"

"Stop now."

"Indeed?"

Ben quickly leaned over and kissed me. "Will you stop now?"

I looked slyly at him. "Indeed."

"Let me out of the car."

I pulled into his driveway. "Your wish is granted."

Ben smiled. "So tomorrow at 4, right?"

I opened my mouth.

"Don't say it," Ben warned me.

I laughed. "Okay. Yes, 4 tomorrow. Au revior."

Ben looked at me. "Indeed."
